Sepide and Remiel were standing in front of the castle, thinking of a way to enter. Their attention went to a window on the upper part of the edifice, giving them an entrance. Without asking, Remiel took Sepide and jumped in the window. She looked around to ensure that no one noticed them but was immediately scolded by Sepide.
"Why didn't you warn me first? It was terrifying!"
"I apologize, I believed it was safer to hurry so we would not be noticed."
Sepide was about to argue but was cut off by the sound of something falling to the ground. The two friends turned toward the source of the sound and saw a bag full of food on the ground, probably let down by the nun frozen in fear in front of them. Her body was shaking, ready to run at any moment.
"W-Who are you? How did you end up here?"
"Do not pay attention to us, we come in peace."
Remiel's answer seemed to relieve the woman a bit, who picked her bag from the ground with some hesitation.
"But how did you come here? I was here a second ago and there was no one."
"We do not have time to answer. Can you tell us where are the cells?"
Remiel asked the nun under the uncertain eyes of Sepide.
"I don't think she'll answer us..."
"Why would you want to go to the cells?" The woman thought for a moment and suddenly made the connection with the new prisoner they had. She wasn't sure how to react but decided to at least question them "Are you here for the woman with long blonde hair?"
"So she is here!" Answered Sepide "We need to save her!"
"I can guide you if you want."
Sepide was a bit taken aback by the proposition of this strange nun and couldn't help but question her intentions.
"Why are you helping us? It's weird."
"I... Heard what they'd do to her. Father Benedictus said she would be executed and I can't allow that. It's actually a blessing from God that you are here, I don't feel as guilty now that He sent me a sign."
"I'm not sure I understand but we'll follow you."
The nun nodded and guided the two girls to the cell. They both weren't sure whether they could trust her but decided to so they could find their leader as soon as possible.
The group hurried toward the underground of the castle only to be met with the pope on the way there. The nun stepped back at his sight, clearly uncomfortable.
"F-Father Benedictus? What are you doing here?"
The man stayed silent and looked at the two girls behind her. He slowly approached them, an empty expression on his face.
"Evelyn, who are they?"
"They're a sign from God, I can feel it in my heart. Please don't execute the prisoner, I beg of you!"
"I would be surprised if they were a sign of God. I'll take them to their cells myself, you can leave."
"No! Please, listen to me. You said that you could hear God... I think I can too, I can't hear his words but I can feel his heart."
The man grimaced and took a firearm out of his pocket, bringing an expression of horror to the nun's face.
"Father... What are you..."
"Sister Evelyn, you did well so far. It's a shame it has to end like that but I can't let anyone disturb the peace I've created."
"But Father, God will fix my mistakes if I make some. There's no need to send yourself to the deepest parts of hell for that! Believe me, I can feel that this is God's wish and-"
